Let it snow....somewhere else


Okay- the snow is at about 16 inches and still falling here in Santa Fe. We're hoping it stops so that they can plow the roads and start flying out of Albuquerque again. Since our flight isn't scheduled until 2:20- then we have to make a connection in Dallas- if the airport hasn't been torn up by tornadoes. Its beautiful snow fall and all, but it does have its drawbacks- like closing down the airport. Here's a picture of the boys that made the Los Alamos Monitor...world wide publication that it is...Ok- hopefully we'll make it back for New Years!

monblogomy

I've decided I might just be a one blog women. Trying to keep two sites up to date seems ambitious, especially this time of year- Yeah. All of this navel gazing is fun and all- but I also have those more temporal needs of figuring out what the heck I'm getting everyone for Christmas- better get to it for Santa waits for no man!

Here is a fascinating link concerning Christian community and living out the gospel. This is a group in the San Francisco Bay area- so take that with a grain of salt (all in all, I admit that San Franciscans strike me as braver than the average American in their unwavering ability to be individuals- that is not always the easiest task). They are not limited to the Bay, however- they are looking to branch out. We could start a chapter here. What captivates me about this site is the idea of "What if we actually put together a group of people and lived as close to the Gospel as we could. What if we transplanted a first century Christian home church/community to 2006 and made it work?" Somehow, that really gets me amped- its a radical and crazy idea- one that just might work! I'm going to find out some more before I get too enamored with the idea- but just think- let's stop just talking and playing the Church and just get on with being the Church. The simplicity principle here is just blowing me away. Check out the Jesus Dojo section, and what an "Apprentice" of Jesus believes. Radical. Cool. Worth a thought.
